The Grosse Ile girls’ basketball team secured a second-place finish in the Huron League on Thursday night with a 42-31 victory over Huron.
The Red Devils dominated on the glass, bringing down 42 rebounds to Huron’s 20 and went 11-for-14 from the free throw line, while the Chiefs went 0-for-5.
“We did a nice job on the boards and we shot 79 percent from the free throw line which is why we came out ahead in the game,” Grosse Ile Coach Sandy Tobin said.
Huron’s Lissa Kowalewski got the scoring started a minute into the game but the Red Devils took their lead back and led 9-8 after the first quarter.
Grosse Ile went 3-for-4 from the foul line in the second quarter and outscored the Chiefs 9-7 to take an 18-15 lead at the half.
In the third quarter, the Red Devils jumped out of the gate and scored 13 points to Huron’s five, including two three-pointers.
The Grosse Ile defense held off the Chiefs until 4:43 left in the third quarter when Kowalewski got the offense started again.
The Chiefs scored 10 in the final quarter for their highest scoring quarter of the game, and netted three three-pointers, but still came up short to the Red Devils.
Despite the win, Tobin thought the game was a rather slow game from both sides.
“I thought it was a sloppy game played by both teams,” Tobin said. “We just never really felt like we had our game together.
“We did not play as quick as we usually do and to give Huron credit they probably slowed us down with their defense.”
The Red Devils were led by Megan Swick with her 11 points and five rebounds.
Alex Carney dominated on the glass, bringing down 15 rebounds to go with her nine points.
Kowalewski led the Chiefs with her eight points and nine rebounds. Kristin Wolber added six points.
The two teams will possibly meet again in district play if Grosse Ile is able to defeat Trenton.
“I respect Huron and we are going to play them in districts if we beat Trenton,” Tobin said. “Not only were we coming out to win (tonight) for the league, but also we have to play them again for districts.
“(We’re) just kind of getting to know them a little bit better so we know how to take care of it then.”
The Chiefs host Allen Park on Wednesday while the Red Devils host Trenton.
